One Voice Festival of Singing 2026
Sing for Sussex!
We are a land of fire and giants, farmers and fishing boats, cuckoos and conquerors. Through song and music discover our varied landscape, meet our diverse people and hear the many wonders that this rich county has to offer. From days past to living customs of ritual and story-telling, sanctuary and hospitality, you are invited to explore and celebrate our Sussex identity at One Voice 2026.
This December, over 2,200 young singers from Primary and Special Schools across Brighton & Hove and East Sussex will come together for One Voice 2026, the annual seasonal celebration of singing produced by Create Music and Glyndebourne in partnership with De La Warr Pavilion. The concert will feature a massed choir of Key Stage 2 children performing alongside a Glyndebourne soloist and talented young musicians from Create Music, including Create Music Big Band and the Create Music Youth String Ensemble.
Don’t miss this spectacular seasonal celebration!
